"Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity." ~ Gilda Radner

There Oughtta Be A Law

So there I am at the Walgreen's checkout counter, and the clerk says, "Hey, I've got some free samples of some great face cream that I know you'll love...it really clears up acne...and leaves your skin feeling really soft."

At the same time, as she rings up my purchases (which includes a box of Super Duper Giant Overnight Maxi Pads With Jumbo Wings), the cash register cranks out a receipt that informs (lucky) me that I've won a free AARP membership...

Now wait a cotton' pickin' minute...

I'f I'm AARP eligible (which, damn it, I am...actually I'll be 51 in but a few months), how is it that I am STILL fighting acne and STILL having to buy flippin' Kotex?

(Of course, it's perimenopausal sebacious cysts combined with ingrown and infected chin whiskers so coarse you could sweep a kitchen floor, not pubescent pimples, that plague me...but I digress...)

WELCOME!

Life at 58...Yikes-a-Roni! For me, Annie, life coming around The Home Stretch has been nothing like I imagined it would be from the illusionary vantage point of 30.What happened to Easy Street? When did my hormones shrink? When did the crows lend my eyes their feet? And at what point did I lose the strength to open a jar of pickles?Sound familiar? If so, grab a cuppa joe, sit back and soak up my searing post-menopausal insight and wisdom set to some great tunes! Thanks for stopping by The Home Stretch!
